Need help finding out who built my boat!

[tconn]

Hey guys, I just bought a 32' solid fiberglass downeast project built in 1979 in Gouldsboro Maine. The documentation papers don't have a builders name and I would like to know who built it. Who was building boats there at that time?

Thanks!

Light's Fiberglass is a finishing shop there. Hull ID # might help.

First three letters of the hid should id the builder. At least who built the hull. Anyone could have finished the boat out.

HIN's were not required till sometime in the 80's so it may not have one. Repco's were built there but I am not sure if they were still building there in '79.

I thought of repco too

Repco did not come in 32......Repco had a 30 and a 37 ....in the 30 foot range..a picture would really help

Is it possible they did a one off like so many other builders?

Well I got it home this afternoon, looked for a hull id on it but I couldn't find one, Ill post a pic in a day or two.

Also the papers say its 34.4' x 9.8'.

Is it definitely a glass hull, and not a wood hull thats been glassed over?

 

[tconn]

She's 5/8" thick solid glass, I wouldn't have bought it if it was glassed over to hard to tell if there are any underlying problems. I figured I was a pretty good deal for $1500 its been sitting on blocks for 20 years and was lighty used for sportfishing before that, I bought it from the original owners son.
